I've been using an AI tool and noticed it references very old data, especially in discussions about political topics. For instance, I was talking about current events, and it kept bringing up information from a year ago, even insisting that its knowledge is up-to-date as of 2023. This confuses me since Trump is the current president, and it didn't seem to grasp that. I've stopped letting it do web searches because it kept pulling up information that was five years old. I'm particularly concerned because I often use it for help with brain injury survival techniques. If it's limited to pre-2023 data, how effective can it really be at brainstorming new ideas? Can someone clarify how its knowledge works?

From what I know, the AI has a cut-off in its training data, which means it won't access or understand events after that date. For many current conversations, especially political ones, it can be frustrating since it won't have the latest info. You might want to check in with the platform to see if there's a way they update its knowledge more regularly. But you're right—without the latest data, it could miss out on critical changes or developments.
That makes sense! I guess I just assumed it would have access to newer info. It's a bit disappointing when it's supposed to be helpful.
